[Vserver] RedHat ES4 and Vserver with vanilla kernel.
Hello, I'm trying to get vserver working with the 2.9.10 and the development patches but just getting lots of segfaults all the time, randomly. The guides available on the vserver website have been followed and the system will sometimes boot, but sometimes not. The kernel works fine without the patch so I'm pretty sure it's adding vserver that causes it, but no idea how or why. Not sure what additional information is needed or if anyone knows about this and can offer any pointers. Cheers. Andy. ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

In my experience, random crashes are often the result of hardware problems. I would run an updated memtest program overnight first to at least rule out that possibility.

In earlier versions of VMware running a guest of Windows 2000, a dialog would pop up saying basically "your system is about to blue-screen. we have detected this and caught it, but there's nothing we can do." ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

You're probably going to nod knowingly when I tell you that I'm currently running this Linux environment under VMWare, if that makes a difference then please do let me know and I'll get it on some real hardware ASAP and try again.

Normally this would be my first port of call, but as I mentioned this is actually running under VMWare, and the machine which it's running on is rock solid stable, so I'm certain it's not memory..
